Also waving the ‘buy local, buy Indie’ flag is the national website Free Postcode Lottery. They have unveiled a campaign called High Street July to encourage people to shop from their local independent retailers, to help prevent “Our local businesses [being] pushed out by big supermarket chains and our high streets blighted by betting shops”!

If you are a member of Free Postcode lottery (and as the name suggests, it’s free to join!) you need to take a photo/scan of your receipt and email it to receipts@freepostcodelottery.com and they will add 5% of your spend to your Bonus.

I’ve been signed up to the Free Postcode Lottery website for a while now, and check the draw daily. I’ve not had any luck yet, but by checking everyday I have built up a little bonus pot, which will be added to my winnings should I strike lucky!

If you’d like to have a look at the lottery page to find out how it all works, (and it is legit… the prize money is generated by the advertising revenue from the site, and Martin Lewis at money saving expert has recommended the lottery… that’s how I found out about it and registered my postcode!) follow my link:- Free Postcode Lottery
